1960 Olympic AM FM Combo Tuner Silver Mica Disease Spiders Roaches Bad Speakers Chewed Wires Junk

I kept laughing the whole video through. You have a very smart and unique sense of humour. A gift. Though I deeply searched there is no one else like you on youtube. Someone who does what you do, I mean the overall experience, just doesn't exist. Thanks for devoting time to entertain and educate other people. I really appreciate it like everyone here for sure.

[@michaelyancey3021]

The IF Can is BAKED! And the spider eggs are CAKED1 I think this is proof we don't need to see a radio fixed to know what needs to be done to fix it. Great video!

[@poormanselectronicsbench2021]

Most of the "dead spider" stuff you see, is actually the skin, or exoskeleton, that they have shed in order to grow. ( BUT, there is the live one @ 38:10 ) The warmth and convective air moving through the units, when working, draws bugs, and of course, the bugs draw spiders. It's always entertaining to see you resurrect an item that had some sort of infestation, every one is its own unique challenge.

[@jwl9286]

Way to go once again! I am always fascinated to look at that actual arcing inside the IF Cans.

[@ronwade5646]

Dad was a TV Repairman, he had this exact tuner set up open-face as his shop radio. It was still working in the shop at home long after he retired in the early 1990's. It was recapped more than once.

[@simonstergaard]

I enjoy you dry humor so much. Its soothing.

[@W1RMD]

Garfield!

[@tomj4506]

For silver mica measure the coil ( stripped ) with an LC meter & plug it into the formula with the res freq you want. Say 455 or 10.7. That will give you the cap value. LFOD !

[@michvod]

Or disconnect the coil and measure the capacitance of the caps. If not totally leaky or shorted, they will read -20/+20 % of their initial value

[@carlosedwardos]

Shango was doing this calculation back when you were still using training wheels! 🤣

[@randyab9go188]

What a shame. That was a beautiful set just abused and trashed. You never see sets like this of this era in the Cincinnati area. All have been thrown out. Not the Chinese style but the smaller TV radio combo. You can still find the monster combos because they were so hard to move. The easier it is to throw out the more likely there are none to survive.

[@xminusone1]

That 2.2uF 3V ceramic cap was a first for me too. I'm a technician since 32 years and never one in my life

[@auchterawer1150]

Same here. 0.47 uF or 1.0 uF is about the largest I've ever seen for a disc ceramic cap (also over decades as an electronics tech). I wouldn't have chosen a ceramic cap for a crossover, but my guess is that this was a cost-cutting alternative.

[@lynncowan9864]

Always entertaining - I absolutely love the dry humor. I have a set of "45 RPM adaptor" cufflinks, but I don't wear them anymore because I was once accused (by a staggeringly ignorant individual, having NO clue what she was looking at) of wearing swastikas on my wrists.

[@rotaxtwin]

That 3 uF disc capacitor is new to me, never seen one of that high a value! I agree with your take on the old filter capacitors. Not the demons that the almighty internet gurus like to claim. I'm running the original multi tap filter cap on an old pulled HiFi chassis no problem. Replaced many wax caps but stopped there.

I've taken to using an electric leaf blower to things like this. Outside, of course, but it does a great job of dislodging a lot more of the funky stuff that a vacuum won't get. Especially in those little hard-to-reach places like between components.

[@KameraShy]

I need to stop trying to eat when watching these Shango videos.

[@jimharmon3404]

It is not often that a radio video leaves me with a grin but this one did. I would have just given this one a Simple Green bath, a brushing and then Rinse and Repeat! That is just what I used to do back in the late 60's when I first worked in a TV shop. The guy I worked for could have cared less about the dirt dust and hair balls. I could not stand it so I cleaned up all incoming TVs and radios before repairs. Ahhh the memories!

[@ATSNorthernMI]

A new scented candle collected called "Hoarded Trailer Park" to include scents like "Burning rat piss" and "Baked roach feces"

[@janosnagyj.9540]

That 2.2uF disc is a first to me as well. Specially this old! And I'm sure you are right with the explanation about the distorted sound: rated at 3V only, it is definetely starting to arc on the peaks! But even if the bass speaker pulls down the output voltage a little bit, these must be 4Ohms then as the output power at about a watt and a half would go over that voltage limit if the speaker impedance is higher than that. Interesting design, and right on the limits...

[@111000100101001]

I have an old set of 1uF disc caps rated at 12volts from an old decaying console found on the side of a road. You got me curious about hooking them up and watching on a scope.

[@IDPhotoMan]

[@scottbrady7499]

Absolutely the best technique to use Night Vision Goggles to find capacitor shorts! You are a electronic repair genus! You have the best "...how to fix..." videos for electronic repairs on KZbin! I must now get one of the Night Vision goggles to see hot spot for SMD and other electronic boards! Great videos!

[@davidedwards5461]

I also want to get one of those night vision goggles but not sure which one to get...I know nothing about them. Needs to be passive with the right sensitivity i guess???

[@IDPhotoMan]

I love it that you can immediately tell which little critter left the feces in your videos. That takes some talent!

[@andymouse]

So cool watching those breakdowns all in time with the intensity of the crackles from the speaker

[@johnsampson1096]

The 6BM8 tube has decent sound. I had a 1965 Radio Shack reel to reel that used one. It sounded great hooked up to an 8 inch speaker. Good resto, Shango............Love the SMD Night vision shot!

[@xminusone1]

I had a early sansui receiver that had them in push-pull. It made around 16W channel and was very clean and had a powerful sound despite being somewhat weaker than EL84. It was a model SM-32. You can look it up if you want. It's quite rare.

[@gordonwelcher9598]

I have a Sansui 250 that uses 6BM8 in push pull. It has good sized output transformers and has a great sound. I bought it at the Salvation Army thrift store for $10.

[@michaelmcdonald2348]

incredible views of arcing!

[@JerryEricsson]

I have always liked the black background with gold accent of this type of art. I have never seen it on a combo cabinet like that, perhaps because I never lived on the west coast, closest I ever came was either Fort Lewis Washington, or Topock Arizona. I recall buying a painting in a village in Vietnam that was black lacquer with Chinese art on it, perhaps it was Japanese because I believe it had a pagoda on it. Had it hanging in my hooch for the first half of my tour of duty in Vietnam back in 1970. I wish I could come on a working stereo with that sort of finish, I would love to have one setting in my living room.

I had lots of laughs through out your video. I was really surprised at your reaction to the low voltage disk caps, that you've never seen them before. I have a 1964 Zenith AM-FM radio that has one of those disk caps feeding it's tweet tweet. I have a bin of those low voltage high mf value disk caps since the 70's, I think they were meant more for low voltage transistor usage, then for a cheep tweeter speaker coupler.

[@wayneheigl5549]

The small TRS plugs are 3.2mm or 1/8", the bigger ones are 6.3mm or 1/4" TRS means Tip Ring Sleve, so a mono plug would just be called TS, and ones with 4 conductors - TRRS

[@dougbrowning82]

They are also called phone plugs. They were invented for the patch cords of manual telephone switchboards. They can have up to 5 contacts (TRRRS). Most common sizes are 2.5mm (1/10 in), 3.5mm (1/8 in) and 6.3mm (1/4 in), and they can have one or two pins.

If this console was taken care of, e.g., kept away from the elements and those rabbits, it probably would have been pretty valuable by now.

Where else are you going to find cool special effects using night videography involving SMD and tube glowage? Not to also forget the spider carcasses and roach crap. With all the things wrong with the chassis ( and cabinet ) it does make an entertaining video from Shango.

Save free speech. Start a pirate radio station TODAY! That unit was beautiful back in the day. I love the teal print in "your grandmothers handwriting" "HI FI". I saw just the audio tuner part just like this sold on fleabay for $150 about 2 years ago. Thanks for showing this and as far as trusting science, I've learned that math is the MOST important part in any science, including electronics. 8,000,000,000/ 4,000,000 = .1% all day long. The world loses one million people every day, and I heard that 10 years ago.

The Speakers, are the same as The Magnovox Micromatic's with the Horn's! I bet, If you could find the actual Main connection, you would hear a sound better than what you are able to by using clip leads! I would think that there ma have been some horns with this console, which someone may have removed. or maybe, the horns were an Upgrade. but that is what, the Disk on the speaker is used for, and yes it is a Bi-pass. but, as a protection against damage towards , the other speakers(Horns). If I remember my Micromatic's chasis - The speakers did have the same parts on the speakers. Yes, that was done by the Manufacture ... Most Likely! this is why, using the phono plug Rca Ports!
